Always remember that in case of checked exception you can catch only after throwing the exception either you throw or any inbuilt method used in your code can throw   but in case of unchecked exception You an catch even when you have not thrown that exception

Any class which extends Exception class will be a user defined Checked exception class where as any class which extends RuntimeException will be Unchecked exception class  as mentioned in User defined exception are checked or unchecked exceptions So  not throwing the checked exception be it user-defined or built-in exception  gives compile time error   Checked exception are the exceptions that are checked at compile time   Unchecked exception are the exceptions that are not checked at compiled time

A catch-block in a try statement needs to catch exactly the exception that the code inside the try   -block can throw  or a super class of that    try         do something that throws ExceptionA  e g      throw new ExceptionA  I am Exception Alpha       catch ExceptionA e          do something to handle the exception  e g      System out println  Message      e getMessage         What you are trying to do is this   try       throw new ExceptionB  I am Exception Bravo       catch ExceptionA e        System out println  Message      e getMessage         This will lead to an compiler error  because your java knows that you are trying to catch an exception that will NEVER EVER EVER occur  Thus you would get  exception ExceptionA is never thrown in body of corresponding try statement

As pointed out in the comments  you cannot catch an exception that s not thrown by the code within your try block  Try changing your code to   try      Integer parseInt args i-1       this only throws a NumberFormatException   catch NumberFormatException e       throw new MojException  Bledne dane        Always check the documentation to see what exceptions are thrown by each method  You may also wish to read up on the subject of checked vs unchecked exceptions before that causes you any confusion in the future
